The Poets’ Pathway Committee began as a project of the Greenspace Alliance of Canada’s Capital, sprung from the mind of Bill Royds in the winter of 1995. In January 2007 its co-chairs became Jane Moore and George Wilson. As of May 2009, Jane became sole chair. The pages below document the early days, up to mid-2007.

History

When Steven Artelle, then-chair of the Poets’ Pathway Committee, initiated the Ottawa Literary Heritage Society in May 2003, the Committee became a joint committee of the Society and the Alliance. In December 2006, Steven resigned as co-chair of the Committee to devote all his energy to the Poet’s Hill project. For a while the Poets’ Pathway again became a committee of the Alliance only but increasingly the Committee found its own feet and in 2011 it was incorporated.
